Catching Monsters

Chapter 181: Local Specialties from Hometown
Ling Guzi was well aware of Feng Yu's identity and status, and he also knew that after Feng Yu's appearance, there was probably not much room for maneuver in this matter.

The main reason why he was willing to be taken to the imperial prison was to support Master Bai Chen and express his attitude in order to save Master Bai Chen's life.

But when he saw Feng Yu, he knew that this plan might fail.

He couldn't help but sigh and shook his head helplessly.

After Feng Yu greeted Ling Guzi, he glanced at Jiang Yun and took Jiang Yun towards the prison where Zhenren Bai Chen was imprisoned.

Zhenren Baichen and Guiyuanzi were detained in solitary confinement, with their hands and feet shackled.

Arriving in front of the prison, Feng Yu said expressionlessly, "Master Baichen, tell me, what is your intention to burn the plaque bestowed by His Majesty on Sanqing Temple?"

Master Baichen slowly opened his eyes, with helplessness in his eyes: "Eunuch Feng, I didn't know that the plaque was bestowed by His Majesty, not to mention..."

Feng Yu interrupted her directly: "There is no point in saying this, just burn it."

If anyone destroys something bestowed by Your Majesty, they will later claim that they did not know it was a gift from Your Majesty.

Does that mean everyone can be exempted from guilt?
How can there be such a good thing in the world?

Feng Yu's eyes were deep: "Did you do this alone, or do you have accomplices in Baiyun Temple?"

"Master Baichen, you'd better think it over before answering."

Master Bai Chen looked at Jiang Yun unwillingly. She subconsciously clenched her fists and tried to make a final struggle. She said in a deep voice, "Jiang Yun, must this matter have come to this? I did do something wrong, but..."

Jiang Yun followed behind Feng Yu, knowing very well that she did not really realize that she was wrong.

But the realization that he was dying.

Before Jiang Yun could answer Master Baichen's words, Feng Yu stepped forward and said sternly, "Master Baichen, you better think about it. If you don't admit it, the imperial prison will start to torture and interrogate you. How many disciples of your Baiyun Temple can withstand it?"

"If you can't bear to confess, it won't just be you and Gui Yuanzi who will die."

Master Baichen looked at the many Taoists of Baiyun Temple who were detained here, slowly closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and said: "This matter was indeed arranged by me, and has nothing to do with anyone else."

After hearing Master Bai Chen's confession, Feng Yu finally revealed a faint smile on his face, and then he looked towards the prison next door.

Gui Yuanzi was so scared that he curled up in the corner, not daring to look Feng Yu in the eye.

"Your Majesty's oral order, Baiyun Temple, Master Baichen and Guiyuanzi burned the imperial plaque. Their plot is not treacherous, and their intentions are worthy of death. Identify their identities and execute them on the spot."

After saying this, Feng Yu asked Jiang Yun to take the key and open the prison door.

After all, Master Baichen is a powerful Taoist who has reached the fourth level of the realm of Master. In order to avoid any accidents, Feng Yu took action personally.

After entering the prison, Feng Yu walked in without any more nonsense. He suddenly took action and slammed Master Bai Chen hard on the body with his palm.

The power of this palm was extremely terrifying, and the powerful magic power fluctuations spread out in all directions like ripples.

Seeing this, Ling Guzi, who was far away, could only close his eyes and sigh.

Master Bai Chen widened her eyes. She had not expected that the eunuch's strength was so terrifying.

The moment this palm struck, Master Bai Chen's tendons, inner elixir, and internal organs were instantly shattered.

boom.

Master Baichen fell to the ground and died instantly.

Feng Yu shook his head slightly, but it was not because he was sad about the death of Master Bai Chen.

These Taoists are always plotting evil. The more of them die, the happier Your Majesty will be.

The reason for the sigh was that it was a pity that Master Bai Chen was a woman and could not be castrated and then killed. Feng Yu himself had never castrated a fourth-rank master before, which was a great regret for him.

After walking out of the prison, he glanced at Gui Yuanzi who was curled up in the corner, and said to Jiang Yun calmly: "This guy will be dealt with by you Jinyiwei."

"Then send these Taoists from Baiyun Temple back. Be polite." Feng Yu said as he walked out of the imperial prison with his hands behind his back.

Outside the imperial prison, the two captains Yang Liunian and Zhou Yi, who had heard that Feng Yu was coming, were already waiting outside.

Jiang Yun followed Feng Yu and just walked out of the imperial prison, he saw the two thousand households waiting there with smiles on their faces.

At this moment, Zhou Yi felt somewhat envious of Yang Liunian. Ever since Jiang Yun came under Yang Liunian's command, in such a short period of time, he had already made many outstanding achievements for Yang Liunian.

During this period, Feng Yu went to the East Pacification Office to basically meet Yang Liunian.

If the time comes to select the next Chief of Pacification, and Feng Yu says a word or two on behalf of Yang Liunian, I'm afraid the position of Chief of Pacification will fall on Yang Liunian's head.

"I have finished trying this case, and the main culprit has been executed." Feng Yu then said to Yang Liunian, "Captain Yang, convey His Majesty's oral order to promote Jiang Yun to the rank of Captain." Upon hearing the news, Yang Liunian and Zhou Yi both showed surprise on their faces.

Hundred households?

You know, Yang Liunian and Zhou Yi have been working in the Jinyiwei for many years.

It took about eight to ten years from entering the Jinyiwei to being promoted to the position of a centurion.

Yang Liunian frowned slightly, coughed, and advised: "Eunuch, Jiang Yun has only been in our East Pacification Division for two months. If he is promoted to a centurion, I am afraid that the brothers below will be dissatisfied."

What Yang Liunian didn't expect was that Captain Zhou Yi beside him smiled and said, "Captain Yang, there's no room for a hundred households?"

“I have it.”

Yang Liunian became a little anxious when he heard this. It was not that he opposed Jiang Yun's promotion to centurion, but he was really considering Jiang Yun.

Feng Yu looked at the two captains and could guess what they were thinking. He said slowly, "You two, the position of the pacification envoy has always been under consideration. There is no need to be too anxious."

"As for Jiang Yun's appointment, it was issued by His Majesty."

Upon hearing this, Yang Liunian nodded repeatedly and agreed.

"I'm going back to the palace now."

"Wait a minute." Jiang Yun hurriedly called Feng Yu, then said with a smile: "Eunuch, please wait in the carriage for a while. Someone from my hometown brought some local specialties."

"I'll give some to my father-in-law to try."

Souvenir?
Feng Yu looked at Jiang Yun with strange eyebrows, but nodded in agreement. He returned to the carriage and had just sat down when Jiang Yun and Xu Xiaogang carried a heavy wooden box and put it on the carriage.

"Is this the local specialty you mentioned?" Feng Yu narrowed his eyes and opened a crack in the wooden box to take a peek.

There was actually a box full of silver inside, probably around five thousand taels.

Feng Yu's eyes lit up slightly, and he knew clearly where the silver came from.

How could it be possible that Jiang Yun only copied 50,000 taels from the entire Baiyun Temple to Your Majesty?

I must have some left.

Feng Yu nodded with satisfaction, and looked at Jiang Yun with increasing favor.

If you have the ability and emotional intelligence, you will take the benefits for yourself.

Everyone would find such young people pleasing to the eye.

"Yes, I like this local specialty."

Jiang Yun smiled respectfully and said, "As long as you like it, my Lord."

Watching the carriage slowly drive away.

Jiang Yun also breathed a sigh of relief. Xu Xiaogang beside him whispered, "I also put the money of Commander Li and Captain Yang in the study room where you work."

"You can deliver it yourself later. I don't want to do this kind of job of delivering money."

On weekdays Xu Xiaogang is just careless and laughing, but he is not stupid.

If you give this money yourself, it will be a favor.

Only if Jiang Yun gives it to others will they remember Jiang Yun's kindness.

Jiang Yun thought about it and said, "How about we go together?"

Xu Xiaogang waved his hands and shook his head: "To be honest, when my father dies and I become the Duke of Zhenguo, they will give me gifts during festivals."

"I'm rushing to give them gifts now, what's the big deal? Isn't this just lowering your status?"

"Besides, if I become famous in the future, people will say that I rely on gifts to curry favor."

Listening to Xu Xiaogang's words, Jiang Yun nodded without further persuasion.

Soon, Jiang Yun dragged a box of silver and walked towards the room where Yang Liunian was.

Yang Liunian, who was sitting in the study, saw Jiang Yun dragging such a large box of silver in, his eyes sparkled, and he said with a smile: "Captain Jiang, what are you doing?"

"I'm sending this local specialty from my hometown to Captain Yang to try."
